video streaming to either see a better quality video image or to be able to view a faster video

stream over the Internet.

To select either the Main or Sub video stream for live viewing, right-click on the video screen and

select either Main stream or Sub stream from the context menu.

3.3 Electronic Pan/Tilt/Zoom (ePTZ) - Ax32V2M series only

Through the Annexxus Web Viewer, authorized users can control the Electronic Pan/Tilt/Zoom

(ePTZ) function of the network camera remotely. The ePTZ function does not apply to the

The network camera ePTZ can be controlled through the Annexxus Web Viewer or through the

SRX-Pro/iP-Pro software (see SRX-Pro/iP-Pro software manual for more information).

It is important to note that certain image resolution levels affect the functioning of ePTZ. On

certain resolution levels ePTZ does not function at all. Figure 3.3 below indicates how resolution

affects ePTZ:

3.3.1 Controlling ePTZ

Note: ePTZ does not work in Full Screen mode. Press F11 to exit Full Screen.

Using the ePTZ control panel located on the left of the live video dashboard the user can:

1. Change the pan-tilt settings.

2. Zoom in and out.

3. Enable one of nine presets, or enable the Auto Pattern feature.

To control Zoom/Iris direction or activate presets, follow the diagram below:

To control the Pan/Tilt position of the camera:

1. Select a camera resolution level that enables ePTZ. See figure 3.3 above.

2. To use Pan/Tilt, the iris cannot be fully zoomed out. After zooming in partially or all the way,

use the arrows on the ePTZ control wheel to pan and tilt.

Using the Presets

There are 9 preset iris positions to choose from. When using the Annexxus Web Viewer, these

presets are factory defaults and cannot be changed. Each preset, from 1-9, shifts the iris to a

different preset position, changing the live image view. Note that users can set the presets

themselves when using SRX-Pro/IP-Pro.

Auto Pattern

With Auto Pattern, the iris will continuously scan the view field from left to right. To use Auto

Pattern the iris cannot be fully zoomed out. After zooming in partially or all the way, select Auto

Pattern in the drop down menu.

3.4 Live Backup

Live Backup is the video recording feature of the network camera. It records onto the local PC

storage (local HDD, network HDD, or USB storage device). Recorded video is saved in the *.axv

format and can be played back with Annexxus Player 2.0. Note: The Annexxus Player 2.0

application is included on the CD which accompanies the network camera – see Appendix B for

instructions on using Annexxus Player 2.0.

To start Live Backup video recording:

1. Click the Live Backup button on the main screen . The Live Backup window will be

displayed.

2. In the Live Backup window, ensure the Channel 1 box is checked off.

3. Select Storage Location. Click Browse..., locate and select the destination folder on a local or

network hard drive, where the *.axv live video backup files will be stored. The default location is

C:\IP_Module_Recording.

4. Click OK to start the live video backup. The Live Backup button on the main screen will turn

blue to indicate that a live backup is in progress.

Each time a live backup is initiated, a new

*.axv file is created in the storage location folder.

The video backup files are named according to the following standard:

IPADDRESS_CHANNEL_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.axv.

For example, the video file 192.0.0.16_01_20100909_152712.axv was recorded from a

Ax32V2M series network camera located on the 192.0.0.16 IP address (the default IP address for

the camera), Video Channel 1, September 9, 2010 at 3:27PM.
